Buffy to the rescue?
The popular “Buffy the Vampire” TV show is not the only case in which cheerleaders have been afflicted by things unexplainable which include strange fits of a different sort than just ordinary teenaged tantrums.
It seems pretty obvious that social angst in your day to day life could easily lead to feeling crappy all the time, or even to major depression. But most of the time we assume that it's a purely psychological phenomenon, with no real physiological origins or consequences. A new study, however, finds that stress caused by negative social interactions may actually change your biology for the worse.
A study was published by Carcinogenesis that indicates that GSE, or Grape Seed Extract could help to kill these cells effectively. The effect is dramatic. The success of such a treatment depends on the ability of the healthy cell to wait out damage. Whenever the conditions exist in which cancer cells cannot grow, they will die. The goal of treatment, then, is to create such an environment. That's where this seemingly simple thing comes into play.
The drug acetaminophen is often given to children. The purpose of this drug is to relieve fever and pain. However, many people are not aware of the correct dosages to give someone who needs it. One of the reasons for this might be the different forms that acetaminophen is available in. This drug has been in family homes since the 1970s and it is also one of those drugs that people can use to overdose on if the correct dosing is not followed. In some instances, overdoses can occur when parents do not correctly administer this medication to their child. This causes liver toxicity that is marked by a nauseous feeling and wanting to throw up or vomit. Some people will have pain inside their abdomen and in severe cases, liver failure.
Some patients decide to split pills because it saves them money. Even some health authority organizations and doctors are recommending patients split pills. Initially doctors advised patients to split pills when the dosage the patient needed was not readily available; pharmaceutical companies only make a few fixed dosage amounts, which may not be the proper dosage a patient needs. Later, the reasoning for pill splitting was both for proper dosage and money saving. Pharmaceutical companies typically charge close to the same amount for a medication despite its dosage. However, it's been a controversial topic because some pills are not safe to split.
The HPV vaccine has made great strides in preventing cervical cancer, but it hasn't rendered the disease obsolete. Doctors still need to screen for potentially cancerous cells down there just to be on the safe side. And thanks to the recent marriage of gynecology and astrophysics, they have a new set of tools to do so.
Professional star-gazers have been using spectroscopy--the analysis of interaction between matter and radiated energy--to check out celestial bodies far, far away from our home. Now, doctors can use the same technology to take a gander at some terrestrial bodies. Guided Therapeutics has developed a way to determine whether cervical cells are cancerous or not by shining a spectrum of light on them and seeing how they reflect it. Planets and cells alike can tell you a lot about themselves when hit with particular wavelengths of light. Cancer cells in the cervix have specific cellular markers that reflect that light in a distinguishing way, making them stand out from the normal, healthy cells around them.
Symptom Stages
The main symptoms of exposure to black mold and black mold toxicity is revealed in three stages. During the beginning stage, the person will feel intense itching on the skin. This is because the mold spores are in the air. The person will sneeze constantly and the eyes will be red and itchy. There might be a low grade headache that is associated witht htis stage.
During the second stage, toxicity has increased and the person will experience more serious symptoms such as hair loss, asthma, ulcers on the skins and swollen lymph nodes. The immune system will go into overdrive to get rid of the mold particles from the body.
One of the hardest things for a specialist to diagnose is right upper quadrant pain. The right area of the abdomen is the site of various organs and muscles. Therefore, an extensive differential diagnosis is needed when a person complains of pain in the upper right side of the body.
Firstly, upper quadrant pain on the right side of the abdomen can be due to the liver. Even with the liver, areas such as the right, middle and lower lobes can produce pain. The hepatic and portal ducts can also be a source of pain as structures of the liver. This is if they are infected or blocked. This pain can also happen in liver failure.
In this area, the gall bladder is located and it can also be swollen, infected or have a gallstone trapped in the duct.
The most common cancers, including prostate, breast, colon and lung cancers have all seen a significant drop in death rates. Some of the more rare types of cancer, though, including pancreas, liver, thyroid and kidney forms, have seen increases in both death rates as well as the number of instances present.
Ensuring that all the correct vitamins and minerals are received within the diet is not just good advice, but something that is essential to the body’s chemical pathways. A lot of the vitamins and minerals consumed are used to produce proteins, tissue such as bone, and even more importantly, DNA.
The diagnosis of megaloblastic anemia is due mainly to a Vitamin B12 deficiency within the body. This vitamin is very essential during DNA synthesis. Therefore, it should be noted that a deficiency of folate or vitamin B12 will not only affect the growth of red blood cells, but will also affect any cell that has to carry out DNA synthesis and divide.
